The General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, President of Laos and the high-ranking delegations of the Lao and Vietnamese Parties and States expressed their deep respect for President Ho Chi Minh - Vietnamese national liberation hero, world cultural celebrity, and outstanding activist of the international communist and workers' movement.

President Ho Chi Minh devoted and sacrificed his whole life to the cause of national liberation, class liberation, and the struggle for peace and happiness of the Vietnamese people and people of the world.

The great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos developed from the traditional relationship, founded by President Ho Chi Minh, Prince Souphanouvong, President Kaysone Phomvihane and revolutionary leaders of the two countries, and nurtured by generations of leaders, revolutionary soldiers and people of the two countries, into a loyal, pure, special, exemplary and rare relationship, which is a priceless asset of the two peoples.

President Ho Chi Minh once said: "Vietnam - Laos, our two countries; The love is deeper than the Red River and the Mekong River". President Kaysone Phomvihane also affirmed: "In the history of world revolution, there have been shining examples of proletarian internationalism, but nowhere and never before has there been such a special, long-lasting, comprehensive solidarity and fighting alliance"; "mountains may wear away, rivers may dry up, but the Laos - Vietnam love is forever more steadfast than mountains and rivers".

In particular, since the two countries carried out the renovation process with many difficulties and challenges, but with the good tradition of the special relationship and under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, the relationship between the two countries has been increasingly strengthened, expanded and achieved great victories.
